Most people would agree that marriage today is in crisis. What is usually
overlooked, even by those married in the Church, is that God intended marriage
to be a sacrament. The Lord wants couples to rely on his promise to be present
in their day-to-day lives, and he wants to give them the grace to live out
the covenantal love that mirrors the love of the Trinity.

Rather than simply a defense of marriage, this book presents the "good news"
about sacramental marriage. Cardinal Donald Wuerl uses his years of pastoral
experience and his gift of teaching to give hope and courage to both engaged
couples and those married for many years -- and to anyone thinking about the
meaning or vocation of marriage.
